Earth's greatest mass extinction... so far.

Despite whatever success Amphibians had during past hard times, they are getting demolished now. 40% of species are threatened with extinction and the situation is deteriorating globally and rapidly.

I couldn’t agree more. Check out ‘Save the Frogs’ if you’re interested in supporting an organization fighting the extinction of amphibians.

I just love stories of the tenacity and resilience of life, and I hope that some of our precious amphibians survive the ongoing mass extinction as they have in the past.

'Ancient frog relatives survived the aftermath of the largest mass extinction of species by feeding on freshwater prey that evaded terrestrial predators, academics have found.'
